Lachlan Olbrich, who spent last season with the Bulls on a two-way contract, informed ESPN’s Olgun Uluc that he has signed a one-year deal with Tokyo Alvark in Japan’s B.League Premier. The Australian center/forward will be one of the league’s highest-paid overseas players this season, sources tell Uluc, although terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. “What makes Lachlan even more exciting is that he’s still so young, and he’s chosen a different path to pursue his goals. Olbrich was selected with the 55th pick in 2025 and sent from the Lakers to Chicago in a draft night trade. He appeared in 37 NBA games last season, averaging 2.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 9.3 minutes per night.
